Cleveland Municipal Court bailiff accused of stealing court fines

The trial is scheduled to begin June 11 for a Cleveland Municipal Court bailiff accused of stealing court fines.

Glenn Webb, 54, of Cleveland, and Euclid resident Aisha Muhammad, 50, stole about $5,000 from traffic and minor offenders between January 2009 and June 2010, according to Cleveland police.

After fines were imposed, Webb allegedly accepted offenders' payments without giving them receipts. Muhammad, who was a court clerk, would record those fees as dismissed and the duo would keep the money, prosecutors said.

Muhammad was sentenced to one year of probation after pleading guilty to tampering with records.

Webb is charged with two counts of theft in office and four counts of tampering with records in two separate cases.

His case is being heard by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Stuart A. Friedman.
